Hagley Museum and Library Henry Belin du Pont Dissertation Fellowship

The Hagley Museum and Library furthers the study of business and technology in America. The collections include individuals’ papers and companies’ records ranging from eighteenth-century merchants to modern telecommunications and illustrate the impact of the business system on society.

Award

This is a residential fellowship with a term of four months. The fellowship provides $6,500, free housing on Hagley’s grounds, use of a computer, mail and internet access, and an office. (Recipients who use this housing are strongly encouraged to have a car available for transportation during their residency.) Dissertation fellows are expected to have no other obligations during the term of the fellowship, to maintain continuous residence at Hagley for its duration, and to participate in events organized by Hagley’s Center for the History of Business, Technology, and Society.

Eligibility

Henry Belin du Pont Dissertation Fellowships are designed for graduate students who have completed all course work for the doctoral degree and are conducting research on their dissertation.
